“Tell It To Neil” - A new design educator podcast series

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I have a podcast! (Neil Ward, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Drake University)

Tell it To Neil is a new podcast series that focuses on how design educators found their way into design, how they navigated the academic job market, and how they prepared their narrative for tenure.

The first season features interviews by Assistant and recently tenured and promoted Associate Professors of Graphic and Interactive Design. Conversations cover topics such as navigating non-tenure track positions when supporting a spouses career/education, the surprise of tenure and promotion being separate processes, building a scholarship case with work that is published in Open Educational Resources, and figuring out who you are and what type of institution and geographic location you want to be in.

It's geared toward MFA students on the verge of graduating and educators currently working and navigating their way to tenure and promotion. You can visit www.tellittoneil.com/interviews for the first season and can also search/subscribe on iTunes Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, blubrry, and Google Play Music.
